Real boss Zinedine Zidane likes fellow-Frenchman Pogba but Madrid would prefer to take David De Gea from United.

Pogba and PSG would be a natural fit though – and Mourinho is banking on that prospect to encourage the French side to be open for a double deal for Verratti and Marquinhos.

Despite pogba’s current issues at Old Trafford, his agent Raiola insists his client was a bargain – adding that it was the player’s determination to return to United that ensured the deal went through.

“I think Manchester United would have paid E200mfor him,” the super agent said in an interview with a Dutch publication.

“Pogba was a cheap player because he had included in his contract with Juventus that we were allowed to determine where he wanted to go, and not the club.”
